Get processing status for documents
AI agents call document_status to retrieve information from LightRAG MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves document processing status, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. It queries existing state information about documents without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—it only exposes status metadata.
